The spring 2010 season not only marks the third collection of Austin Sherbanenko, but also his second runway show in New York. The latest collection stems from mixed influences taking from past events–distant, near and natural. Inspired by industrial landscapes and Black Metal, Sherbanenko finds an environment that nurtures his vision. Entitled “Confined Translation”, the spring collection finds a more grounded range that channels a dark urban character. Slim silhouettes offer accessible pants that are non-threatening, while outerwear reaches far and wide. At times, a shirt jacket appears safe and easily integrable, while at other times, Sherbanenko brings the drama with extended lengths and deconstructed capes. Taking season appropriate details into account, Sherbanenko delivers thin shirts and tanks, complimented by an array of jackets that are loosely fastened, if at all. Altogether, Odyn Vovk continues to grow in point of view–traveling a path that is progressively more lax as it matures.
